I believe McGowen Precison blanks are what CarbonSix uses for their barrels. Been waiting on my CarbonSix CF 6.5prc barrel since March 2024, it's almost December. I heard they got a contract for a big brand name, (Browning), and that is why barrel orders are taking longer. I hate waiting for barrels.
I spoke with c6 last week. Lead times should be coming down with McGowen rolling out their new rifling machines. They’ll be cut rifled now but can be produced at a much faster rate. When I spoke with Gene it sounded like McGowen was already running 6.5 blanks on the new equipment.

It also sounded like c6 made some changes internally with their production team, and the folks that caused them to be so backlogged are no longer there, so after they get caught up on the backlog things should move quicker

They do make the carbon 6 blanks. Waiting for barrels sucks, but it just is what it is. Chances I want something that’s already sitting on a shelf are about zero, so I just plan ahead.
